Xia Fenghua had thought that Wang Yue could make just about anything work. She'd even been planning to flatter him a little and try to get herself a role. But when she heard him bragging, she couldn't help laughing.
Still, Wang Yue was right. That was the kind of thing anyone could do with a little know-how.
Even if they couldn't make a good one, how bad could it be?
Besides, the three of them had money. They could buy a camera and have some fun. There was no need to make a masterpiece.
They were all the type to act as soon as they made up their minds, so they decided to go buy a camera together the next day.
After Ma Siyi returned home, she saw her grandmother sitting there, looking troubled. She quickly went over and said firmly,
"Grandma, don't lend Mom any money. She's remarried, so she's no longer part of the Ma family. There's no need to give her money now."
Grandma Ma had seen Ma Siyi come in and was about to serve her a bowl of porridge. Hearing what she said, she was taken aback.
She'd been hesitating over whether to refuse because she worried Ma Siyi might be put in a difficult position later. But now, seeing her granddaughter go from looking a little unhappy to firmly insisting they not give the money, she couldn't help asking,
"Sisi, she's still your mother, after all. Are you really willing to watch her go south and get involved in a pyramid scheme? That's no place for her!
"If she ends up breaking the law because of it, getting a government job will be much harder for you."
Seeing that Grandma Ma was thinking of her, Ma Siyi couldn't just take that kindness for granted.
